Current technical information for global health professionals

The Global Health eLearning Center developed by the USAID Bureau of Global Health is a response to repeated requests from field staff for access to technical public health information. We have heard from USAID Population, Health, and Nutrition officers (PHNs) and from Foreign Service Nationals (FSNs) that they want to be current on global health topics, yet find it a challenge to obtain the information because of logistical and time constraints. The Global Health eLearning Center provides Internet-based courses that:
- Provide useful and timely continuing education for health professionals
- Offer state-of-the-art technical content on key public health topics
- Serve as a practical resource for increasing public health knowledge
- A resource for USAID staff and partners around the world

A flexible learning program for busy professionals

Each course is authored by a subject matter expert or a team of experts, is highly focused, and can be completed in about one to two hours. Although courses are designed to be taken online, a printer-friendly format allows you to download course materials for further study.

A blend of technical and programmatic content

The courses combine technical content with program principles, best practices, and case studies. They are intended to provide concrete examples and to stimulate your thinking about ways you can use the principles you have learned in the course to solve problems in the field. One training is specifically on Monitoring and Evaluation
